[libreoffice-users] Re: Dot separated date in YYYY.MM.DD format

You are free to enter any text value you want. As far as the arithmetic
calculators named "Calc", "Excel", "Gnumeric" etc. are concermed, the
number format is completely unimportant as long as the actual _value_ of
a cell is correct.

All the following formatted numbers represent the exact same value:
> 01/02/15 
> 02/01/15
> 2015.01.02
> Freitag, 2. Januar 2015
> 2015年1月2日　星期五

-- They all sort according to their true numeric value regardless of
number format which affects only the appearance.
.. All calculations with any of the above values yield the exact same
results.
-- Using cell styles, a few clicks format all dates within the same
document to your liking and these formats are persistent.
